WSP will provide design services for two of the extension’s five new stations: Clark Station (including a bus loop) and Langstaff Station with a commuter parking lot and passenger pick-up/drop-off facility.

Architectural services will be provided by Weston Williamson + Partners (WW+P), an award-winning architectural and urban design practice with studios in London, Sydney and Melbourne, and Architecture49, as part of the WSP-led project team.

The Clark and Langstaff Stations are critical parts of the Yonge Subway Extension project’s vision to create higher-order transit services and improved regional connectivity. WSP and its project partners are excited to help deliver this important transit infrastructure project.
